Here to better explain the problem, I used http://showmypc.com To give her a hand on trying to figure out whats up.
Steps Open Dream Deamon Select game, and host on chosen port click Host Message comes up saying 'game can be reached by players' in the green text and everything Have someone besides yourself attempt to join Person receives a Connection failed in BYOND program World is entirely opened, there's no bans, there's no selected groups to be allowed to connect. She's been able to host in earlier versions according to herself. She has Norton security but that's not even installed. I tested by coding a world with only the say verb and had her host that with the same error so its not coding related. | |

When he's asking if this worked in earlier versions, he automatically implies that he would want to know which version worked if the answer is yes. So, could you provide a version number that works for her set-up and allows hosting? You can check for earlier BYOND builds around here.

If you're not sure, go to Task Manager and get a list of the process names. That's not really helpful. I think it would be better if you could list the running processes, else there is too much 'could/might-guessing' involved. Unfortunately Radied stopped replying to the BYOND Help thread and went straight for a bug report. | |
I'm kicking this back to BYOND Help. A bug report was a little premature since there is no information that can be tested to reproduce the issue, and the original poster has not been responding.

Also, you didn't fill out the bottom sections of the template. Does this happen in earlier versions? Does it happen in every game? Does it happen on other computers or if you're logged in on a different account?
As I mentioned to Snagler, I personally suspect some other program is interfering with the new connections. Please provide a list of any firewall or security software you're running. If you're not sure, go to Task Manager and get a list of the process names. That will be helpful in determining if something else is interfering.
